Red Cross Shoe 



Women whose 

 feet hurt say— 



We are receiving thousands of letters like 

 those below. The sole of the Red Cross Shoe 

 is flexible. It is of regular thickness, but 

 made of leather tanned by a special process 

 that preserves all its life and elasticity. It 

 supports the foot but moves with it — entirely 

 prevents the rub, draw and burn of stiff soles. 



"Supreme Comfort" 



"In my closet are six pairs of 

 stiff-sole shoes — every pair a torment. 

 I have had the misery of breaking 

 them in only to lay them 

 aside. In Red Cross Shoes 

 1 have supreme comfort." 

 Marie I. Wood, 2237 8th 

 Ave., New York City. 



Instant Relief from 

 Aching Feet" 



"I never before experi- 

 enced such comfort; such 

 instant relief from burning 

 and aching feet. 1 ' Mary Stew- 

 art, 6358 Marchand St., Pittsburg, Pa. 



"Comfort and Style Combined" 



"Comfort and style combined in the Red Cross Shoe — just what 

 I was looking for." Mrs. Caroline Lenseman, Nazareth, Pa. 



"Hardly Know I Have Shoes On" 



"I have such tender feet I have only been able to wear thin- 

 nest shoes. I find the Red Cross so comfortable I hardly know 

 I have shoes on." Mrs. Sol White, Cobalt, Ontario, Canada. 



"Walk Miles With Comfort" 



"Walk miles in Red Cross over roughest trails. Absolutely com- 

 fortable — wear splendidly." Sharlot M. Hall, Los Angeles, Cal. 



"Have Worn Same Pair Full Year" 



"Have worn same pair a full year. Tbey will last several months 

 more." Mrs. W. E. Barrows, Nezperce, Idaho.

Important Announcement 



WE ARE sorry that the letter from the 

 Southerner which we published in 

 the May number aroused sectional feeling and 

 it is a pleasure to have it made so perfectly 

 clear that the author of that article was a 

 pessimist; our kind friends in the South have 

 supplied us with an abundance of names of 

 amateurs who are interested in home gar- 

 dening, and a dozen or more very promising 

 articles are being prepared at the time of this 

 writing. 



We take great pleasure in announcing that 

 Mr. P. J. Berckmans of Augusta, Ga., the 

 leading horticulturist of the South and the 

 Dean of American Pomology, has nearly 

 finished writing a thorough study on trees 

 and shrubs from the Southern point of view 

 which we hope to be able to publish serially 

 in The Garden Magazine. 



The various chapters are of absorbing 

 practical interest and make an important 

 contribution to American horticulture, for 

 Mr. Berckmans was the first to introduce 

 from China, Japan, and elsewhere many of 

 the most important fruit trees and ornamental 

 plants that have contributed greatly to the 

 wealth and beauty of the Southern States. 



At our special request, Mr. Berckmans 

 has furnished photographs of the original 

 type specimens of these introductions where- 

 ever possible, and has told in a most delight- 

 ful way the circumstances under which each 

 one was introduced. 



The Fruit Garden in July. 



AFTER the " June drop" thin all the tree 

 fruits that have set thickly. You will 

 not lose a pound of fruit by the process, and 

 you will get larger, higher-colored, and 

 better-flavored specimens. 



Examine the under sides of grape leaves 

 for mildew. If there is any, dust them with 

 dry sulphur, on a still, warm day. 



Behead your raspberry and blackberry 

 canes. Use pruning shears or sickle. Cut 

 back to three feet, and they will make com- 

 pact bushes that need little tying. 



Did you have enough strawberries this 

 year? No? Then start a new bed right 

 now. You can save a year by layering run- 

 ners in small pots, before July 15th. After 

 that you must buy potted plants for fall set- 

 ting, and they cost ten cents each. 



Do you know this trick about cultivating 

 strawberries? Always run your wheel hoe 

 through each row the same way. Reverse 

 tillage uproots runners.
